How much does it cost to insure a parcel?
2 Answers
I have had no luck searching on Royal Mail or Post Office, I know it is possible to pay extra to insure a parcel for �100, �250 or �500, but I cannot find how much this costs.
TIA

Using this postal calculator ...
If you send a parcel using Royal Mail Special Delivery� Next Day (guaranteed before noon delivery) it is automatically covered for loss or damage of �500 which can be increaseded to �1000 or �2500 and you can purchase consequential loss up to �10,000.
e.g. a 1 kg parcel to a UK destination would cost
�5.35 (�500 compensation)
�5.80 (�1000 ... )
�6.70 (�2500 ... )
Having checked other weights of parcel it appears that the upgrades are fixed amounts of
�500 → �1000 = 45p
�1000 → �2500 = �1.35
